section Men to RIame.

CHICAGO, Aug. l3.--The Inter Ocean,
Forest, Ills. special says Your CORES
pendent has found a number of men at
Piper City who positively contradict the
testimony of Timothy Coughlin, section
boss, that he and his gang put out all the
fires along the track before they left their
work Wednesday evening. These men
were OF the party which went from Piper
City to the wreck on a hand car. They
say that as they passed along the track
east of the wreck they saw fire burning in
the hedges and grass all the way along.
The best of evidence obtalnable is that
a fire, built by the section hands, was
within 100 rods of the burned bridge,
where it was left. There is a general
sentiment among the residents here that
the section men were largely to blame.
A very few people. except the officials of
the road, give any credence to the incen-
diary theory. There was not nearly as
much robbing at the wreck as at first sup
posed. Watches and rings thought to
have been stolen are being found among
the debris as it is cleared away.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l3.-The Pa
citic railroad commissioner to-day filed a
petition in the United States supreme
court asking that an order be issued re
curing Senator Leland Stanford to show
cause why he should not be compelled to
answer certain questions asked him on
Wednesday, regarding the disposition
made by him of certain moneys charged
to the general and legal expense account
of the Central Pacific company as repre-
sented by vouchers produced and shown
to him, which vouchers did not show the
disposition made of the money or to whom
it was paid by him.
The petition also recites that the amount
of such moneys expended between 1870
and 1880 aggregated $734, 600, and hat
Senator Stanford declines to answer
questions as to whom he paid the moneys
or whether any part was paid for influence
ing legislation. aud that he also declined
to state who were the attorneys who had
been accustomed to attend the legislature
of California with him while he himself
was attending the legislature IN the In
terest of the railroad company.
1t is thought the petition will be taken
up for argument on Aug. "a. 1t is
stated hat the total amount of vouchers
~unaccounted for aggregate about two
million dollars, but the commission has
not yet set forth the full amount in the
petition. but only the amount upon
which Stanford was questioned par.
ticularly.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 13.-Lieut-G Gen.
Sheridan, who has Just returned to Wash
ington, has under consideration the
charges preferred by Col. w. D. Whipple,
assistant adiutant general, stationed at
Governors island, New York, against w.
w. Burns, assistant commissioner gen.
eral of subsistence, who is stationed at the
same post. Both officers are on the
staff of Mai. Gen. Schofeld. The charges
allege Conduct unbecoming officers and
gentleman and grew out of an a~lterca-
ton between the two officers over a per-
sonal matter. Col. Whlpple asserts that
Col. Burns abused him shamefully, APP
plying the most o%pprobious epithets to
him and struck him a blow when his back
was turned. Col. Burns was placed
under arrest by Gen. Schofeld, and the
matter was referred to Gen. Sheridan for
the reason that there are not enough Of
fcers of sufficient rank at the post to
form a court for the trial of the case. 1t
Is probable that Col. Burns will be court
martialed.

The Chatsworth Disaster.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-A special from
Chatsworth to day to the Chicago Euen-
ing NetoS says: Although up to the
present the dead, including a body recov-
cred from the wreck last night, number
not more than seventy seven, there is
reasonable room for the belief that there
have been other deaths, perhaps half a
dozen, resulting from the tragedy, which
cannot be definitely reported owing to the
confusion and lack of system when the
bodies were being taken away. Neither
can a full list of the wounded be pre-
sented to the public, for scores whose in
juries were light enough to permit it took
trains at Chatsworth or Piper City on the
first opportunity and went home.
The official list of the wounded who
have been cared for here and in Piper
City does not at present show any more
than 100 victims, but there is no doubt
whatever that many more than hat we're
injured.
The %coroner's inquest to day adjourned
until Tuesday, after one witness had been
examined. He was W. G. Messler,
grain dealer at Chatsworth. The only
thing notable about his evidence was the
statement that, although he was one Of
the first at the wreck and remained there
until the arrival of the first relief train, he
saw no interference by anybody with the
valuables of the victims.

ALBANY, New York, Aug. l3.-Super-
intendent of Insurance Maxwell reports
that the examination of the condition and
business of the Phoenix Insurance COM
pany of Brooklyn. on which his examr-
ners have been engaged for over five
months, shows that the company's capital
of 81, 900, 900 was on December 3lst last

impaired $436, 562. In consequence,
Superintendent Maxwell has directed the
officers of the company to make a requisi
ton on the stockholders to pay in the
amount of the deficiency or to call the
board of directors together to take imme-
date steps for a reduction of the capital
to $500, 600. 1t is understood the com
pany will at once reduce its capital to the

Attempted Train Wrecktng.

NEBRASKA Cry, Neb., Aug. ia
report reached town to-day of another
fiendish attempt at train wrecklng last
night OF the Burlington & Missouri
road, at a place ten miles west OF this
city. AS the passenger train was cross
ing a trestle bridge across a deep ravine
the woodwork was discovered to be on
fire. An investigation disclosed the fact
that the strlngers and braces were en-
tirely consumed and the bridge in a
shaky condition. The fact that the train
was aL unusually light one prevented a
fearful catastrophe. Detectives are look

suppressed.

Among the prisoners who escaped from the jail at St. Johns few weeks ago, were Bello and John Brow, charged with train vreckiag and horse stealing. They were cloSely trai)ed but until fcw days since no clue was obtained of their whereabouts. They thea stole three horses from ranch on the Magdalenas in New Mexico, on which they crossed the Rio Grande and were evidently making tracks for the panhandle of Texas. Hearing of this Sheriff Russell, of SocoTo coun- ty and posse went in pursuit and caught them up. The sherif's sum- moa to halt was met by shot from Bello Browns revolver which passed by harmless. The sho; was returned by one of the pursuing party and Bello Brown fell from his saddle dead, shot through the heart. The other Brown then threw up his hands and surren- dered The other two escaped prls- oners were not with them. This IS the second of the train wreckers who has been killed and the remainder of the gang are now in custody.

AS there are now over 100, 900 miles of railway in operation in this country transporting 5000, ,ooo, 900 tons of freight, one mile annually and carrying 9,ooo, 900 of passengers the same distance every year, some idea can be formed Of the magnitude of the railway service and of the diff. cultics in equitably adjusting such an enormous amount of traffic,
 Railroads, like other businesses are not run for the fun of the thing, but to make money. Hitherto traffic to certain points where competition with other roads has been strong, has been often carried at . loss, but the rail road companies smade this up by charging higher rates for local traffic to points where there has been no competition with other roads. Also by pooling and making agreements between themselves where there has been competition. This will now be stopped, rates must be capitalized and all pooling is forbidden under a heavy penalty. ....
 In this attempt to place & powerful monopoly under the guidance and control of. the representatives of Il e people difficult and delicate questions will be constantly presenting them selves, and complications twill arise which will tax to the utmost the wis dom and business acuteness of the gentlemen composing the board. There will be great deal of bowling and dissatisfaction from,certain local ities where discrimination has hither- to been in favor of that particular city or locality and Swhere underSthe new regulations railway rates must necessarily be increased. But this cannot be avoided, these placcssshave been heretofore reaping the benefit of low srates at the expensess..of other places which wcr not fortunate enough to have competition.
 The interstate commissioners will form a great board of arbitration - not a court of law between the peo- pie and what WAS growing to be a powerful monopoly-the combined railway interests of the country. The nev law simply defines their power, within certain limits, leaving q large held for discretionary action. They will be bese. ty 1,eIpert railway mer of csnsammate tact and a thorough knowledge of the intTicacies of rail rsad management who will dc theil best to obtain advantageous rulingi fur the railroads, and the board would be more 55than human if it did ns make sone mistakes, therefore they should be granted much patient con sideratisn. The placing of bushes: enterprises under the control of fed eral authority is entirely new exper imert, and its working. to large cx, tent, is ''leap iu the dark" but the clearest thinkers and the most astute of our business ne1 see in it's outcome much possible good.
